The minister said after Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung approved Mobifone's development and investment strategy in the 2016-2020 period, the company has been active in seeking new opportunities in television and retail.
According to him, Mobifone has completed clarifying of its business value and building privatisation plan, which will be submitted to the PM for approval in the next few days.
Mobifone chairman Le Nam Tra said speed will be the key word as well as the main momentum for the corporation's development in 2016 in four sectors of mobile phone services, which are television, retail, added-value services and multimedia.-VNA
